Yeah!
I got some long.over.due projects done this weekend.
It makes me so happy!
First is this little lamp that has been around forever.
It used to be gold. But a few years ago I sprayed it black.
That was great. But we needed a lamp in the living room and black just didn't feel right to me.
So I took it outside and sanded it down with 220 grit sand paper.
I sanded it because when I sprayed it the first time, well, it was my very first ever spray paint project. I used the cheap paint, and it was a little windy. So the paint wasn't very smooth. at all.
I decided a smooth lamp would be better. Especially when it needs to be dusted...
Then came the spray paint.
I used Rustoluem Aqua and gave it 2 good coats.
Ta-Da
It lightens every thing up. Now, I want to go in and add some white glazing to it. I think that will bring out some fun character!
One down, so many more projects to go!
One of them is the table the lamp is sitting on. I think it needs to be Heirloom white with some glass etching. And maybe some stenciling on the bottom.
What do you think?
